Only that there's no justice. Of the two described in today's papers,
one died in his bed of heart failure at 51, and the other spent
thousands on cocaine, had whisky and red wine for breakfast, smoked 30
cigarettes a day, but miraculously survived to the age of 68. It does
suggest that health warnings are probably meaningless.

A friend of mine has always been convinced that your 'death date' is
genetically coded in, therefore it makes no difference what sort of
lifestyle you adopt.

Bye-bye?
Good riddance to most of them, sniffing their drugs and pontificating to
the rest of us with their left-wing views.

I wish the Benny Cucumber and St Bob would snuff it, or at least suffer
some debilitating illness that prevented them spouting their
insufferable ********.

Bill

Actually I hold a similar view - that retired right wing old farts should
suffer a similar fate. Still I can always put them into a kill file
again. Its sad that diatribes from some overwhelm the occasional useful
post that is made by them.

Benny Cucumber ?????

Benedict Cumberbatch apparently. I've not seen the nickname before, but
GIYF.

Perhaps Bill will let us know what particular "********" he has
"spouted" that offends him so much.
